A report claims that Manchester United have yet to make a formal approach for Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti, suggesting that they are still in for Harry Maguire.

Barcelona are reportedly still awaiting an offer from Manchester United for centre-back Samuel Umtiti.

The Red Devils are rumoured to have switched focus to the French defender after reaching an impasse in talks with Leicester City for top target Harry Maguire.

Despite having just over a week to complete their transfer business, however, Spanish outlet Sport claims that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have yet to make a formal approach for Umtiti.

Barca are said to be open to selling the 25-year-old if they are offered £55m, which would be a £25m saving on what Leicester are after for Maguire.

Umtiti has made just under 100 appearances for the Catalan giants since joining from Lyon in 2016, but he missed a large part of last season through injury and struggled to win back his starting spot.
